I have an issue I hope you can help me with.I am currently pregnant with my second child. My first is almost 7 months old-I am about 2- 3 mo along. Dilemma #1 I am seperated from my husband and divorcing him as soon as the papers get thru...it's not his baby..not this one I am carrying. #2 I don't know who the father is. I am kinda seeing a friend of my husbands..we messed around twice..then a guy we know raped me..then I found out I was pregnant..I don't really know whose it is cause I don't have dates..I don't know if I was pregnant before or after the assault...G is very supportive of me but I don't think I can have a baby if its a product of rape. Is it possible to pinpoint when I conceived???? Can my body handle two pregnancies so close together?

You will need to get a paternity test. This can be done before you give birth, but it does carry some risk for your unborn child and its probably better to wait until after the birth.

Please don't think you can't raise and love a child just because it is a product of rape. A relative in my family was date raped by a 'friend' at a party back in college. She never thought once about giving up the child she was left carrying with. She saw it as her child, not the **** who got her knocked up. She ended up giving birth to the most beautiful little girl who has brought so much joy and meaning into her life. Her daughter may have been conceived through rape, but at the end of the day, this is her child that she carried in her womb for 9 months, her child that she is raising, not his. And thats all that really matters. Good luck!

Mr Me agony auntYour best bet to figure out who the father is will be to have a test once the baby is born. I think you'll be hard pressed to pin point who is the father otherwise.

Answer to your second question: yes, your body can handle two pregnancies that close together.
